In May 2015 We began the process of applying for a Rotary Club International Matching Grant via our partners at the Nashoba Valley Rotary club.
In June 2015, We sent a letter to President Obama.
In July 2015. We re-sent the letter since we got no response.
In August 2015. We received a nice form letter from the White House and won’t pursue this further.
This year we were preceded by Lauren Rissman, a Tufts 4th year medical student, who spent the month of Feb working with Peter Minjale at St. Andrews. She had an amazing time and said she would spread the word at Tufts about how wonderful the experience was.

We are very excited that the second phase of the IRS is finished now covering three villages AND that Peter Minjale says there are no mosquitoes in any of these 3 villages. He also says that, although they are seeing malaria cases at St. Andrews, NONE of these cases have been from the villages where the spraying has been done!

Dear Brian,
K2 TASO IRS EXERCISE IN MAKANDA VILLAGE, KASUNGU, MALAWI
On behalf of K2 TASO I wish to give you the following photographic report as we started the second phase IRS exercise in Makanda village. This exercise helps in killing mosquitoes once the mosquitoes get in contact with the sprayed surfaces.
We are very grateful to Bridges Malawi for your support to K2 TASO in order to implement the exercise. We will send you data upon completion of the exercise. Tomorrow we will start IRS in Mphepo village.
Kind regards.
Peter.
